   10 Days!
That's how long till the GC concert! I cannot wait another second, I'm soooo psyched. But first there's my friend's birthday party this Sunday. My mom wasn't too happy about paying for the ticket, saying she wasn't really consulted about the concert, which is totally untrue as I talked to her about it for about a week before the tickets were bought. I'm jumping all over the place now... I need to organize my thoughts!
Ok. On Halloween I'm going trick-or-treating with small group. By the way, trick-or-treating isn't just a little kids' thing. I mean, come on, free sugar, a night roaming the town without your parents (very not little-kiddy), and cheesy pranks meant to scare you but don't really... Heck, we're bringing pocket knives with us. Gangs have been known to attack people on Halloween in our area. *shivers* So anyway, I'm going trick-or-treating with Lisa (best friend in the whole wide world), Kelly (other good, good friend), and Greg (guy I used to dance with but I've given up to Kelly). We plan on being goths (the point is to scare people, right?), but it's turning out to be more of a punk/gothic mix... In any case, it'll be fun, and I've been toying with the idea of doing the Marik-eyeliner thing, 'cept it makes me look like a cat. Or so I'm told.
I'm still wandering. Just too excited I guess. We played kickball in PE today and our team won 10 to 3. This is unusual; usually the team I'm on loses horribly. There may be a connection there...
Also, since we're celebrating the Wright brothers' 100th anniversary thing, a woman came in from some scientific place that I can't remember the name of, and did a presentation on flight. Let's see, the best parts were when she exploded the balloon full of hydrogen (I think that's what it was; I was a bit preoccupied with the explosion part) and it just burst into a little chunk of flame in mid-air and disappeared, with little bits of balloon floating everywhere; and when she used actual rocket fuel in a bottle-rocket. I missed that one though because I was too busy making up my own count-down (5, 8, 6, 9, 4, 2, 7, 1!), but Lisa tell me there was a little fireball and then the bottle was flying through the air. Best part was that it was indoors and I expected at any minute that the fire would catch on something in the auditorium and the school would burn down with my lit. teacher inside... Well, for a little while, get her out before she's hurt, just a bit scared. Maybe she'll know how scared I get when I have stress attacks.
Long, strange day, ending with Stephen being mesmerized by a dandelion. Very, very strange.
